Carnival Triumph engine fire; lost power; tug boats pulling it to Mobile, AL.

The 500 or so McDonald's franchisees and executives onboard should at least be used to the conditions if they've spent much time in one of their restaurants.
We cruise on Carnival 5 months from today!
(different ship though)

Passengers aboard the stranded ship will also receive a full refund, the statement said.
Yikes.
Why the "Yikes"?
I believe Carnival is also giving them a free future cruise, in addition to refunding the current one.

Couldn't gamble in the very small casino as they allowed smoking in there and the smoke eaters were a joke, the place was full of cigarette smoke and I have asthma.
The one enjoyable thing I found to do, was a comedian who ran the karaoke show, he was pretty funny. But for whatever reason, after that first night they scrubbed the karaoke and had some bad/boring entertainer in that theater for the rest of the cruise.
Then on the last night of the cruise, someone in their 40's died in their cabin. Because it was an unexplained death, he wasn't ill when he boarded, the ship was met at dock that morning by the police and the coroner, to investigate the death. We were held on board at dockside for an additional four hours with nothing to eat as they were out of food, so no breakfast or lunch, just coffee and water. We drove so it wasn't so bad but most passengers missed their flight home.
And yes, it was a Carnival cruise.

Well, you can keep trying, but you will still not convince me to book a cruise
I've taken the ferry between Belfast and Scotland before, which is just over two hours one way. According to DH, we had good weather for the trip. I can't imagine what it would be like in rough weather.
"Without power, the ship's stabilizers are apparently not working, Nutt told The Associated Press, and the massive liner had been leaning to one side Sunday. By Monday afternoon, the ship seemed more upright, he said."

I also enjoyed the ports, but I'd rather fly somewhere and stay there a few days. We went boating at one port and that was fun. Yes, I know I'm the one that was just complaining about being on a boat
